5 Watt LED Exit Sign | 90 Minute Battery Backup | Red or Green Letters

Product Overview

This LED exit sign is designed for egress and emergency exit marking in commercial and industrial buildings. It operates at 5 watts and provides clear, visible exit identification with either red or green letters. The fixture includes a 90-minute battery backup for code-required emergency operation during power loss. Typical installations include surface mounting in corridors, stairwells, and exit pathways where code compliance and life safety are required.

The housing is constructed from injection-molded ABS thermoplastic for durability and impact resistance. This exit sign is suitable for indoor use in environments such as offices, warehouses, and public buildings where reliable exit marking is necessary for occupant safety.

Core Performance and Output

The fixture delivers consistent exit illumination using energy-efficient LED technology. The 5-watt system is designed to provide uniform visibility of exit markings at standard viewing distances. The sign operates on 100V-277V input, supporting a wide range of building electrical systems. Power factor exceeds 0.90, and total harmonic distortion is below 20%.

Battery backup provides a minimum of 90 minutes of illumination during power outages, meeting code requirements for emergency egress. Output is optimized for standard ceiling heights and corridor lengths. Excessive ambient light or mounting above recommended heights may reduce visibility of the exit letters.

Adjustability and Control Options

This exit sign is available with either red or green letter options to match local code requirements or facility standards. The fixture is designed for surface mounting and does not include dimming or advanced control features. Letter color selection is made at installation.

No remote testing or networked control is provided. Manual test button and indicator light are included for battery and system status checks.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED light source is rated for 50,000 hours of operation, minimizing maintenance intervals compared to fluorescent or incandescent exit signs. The battery backup system is designed for reliable performance with a 24-hour recharge time after discharge.

ABS thermoplastic housing resists impact and deformation under normal building conditions. Routine inspection and periodic battery testing are recommended to ensure continued code compliance and emergency readiness.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 12 x 7.5 x 4.4 inches and is finished in white. The injection-molded ABS thermoplastic housing provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant structure suitable for most indoor commercial environments.

Surface mounting hardware is included. The fixture is designed for wall or ceiling installation in standard exit sign locations. The sealed housing protects internal components from dust and incidental contact but is not rated for wet or outdoor use.

Where This Product Fits Best

This LED exit sign is intended for indoor environments where code-compliant exit marking and emergency egress lighting are required. It is commonly installed in commercial, industrial, and public buildings at exit doors, corridors, and stairwells.

• egress lighting
• emergency exit lighting
• code compliance lighting
• life safety lighting
• commercial building exit marking
• industrial facility exit lighting
• warehouse exit lighting
• public building exit lighting

Suitable for dry, indoor locations with standard ambient temperatures. Not intended for outdoor or wet environments. Battery backup supports emergency operation during power loss.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting is supported for both wall and ceiling applications. The fixture is lightweight and can be installed by a single technician using standard tools. Electrical connection is made to 100-277V building circuits.

Battery backup requires a 24-hour initial charge before the fixture is fully operational for emergency use. Periodic testing of the battery and LED indicator is recommended as part of routine facility maintenance. Replacement parts are limited to battery and LED board as needed over the service life.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Exit signs are typically installed above exit doors, at corridor intersections, and in stairwells to mark egress routes. Mounting heights generally range from 7 to 10 feet above finished floor, depending on ceiling height and sightline requirements.

Spacing is determined by code requirements and visibility needs, with additional signs placed at changes in direction or where direct line of sight to an exit is not available. Higher mounting heights may require additional signs to maintain visibility. Battery backup reduces the need for separate emergency lighting in some applications but does not replace dedicated egress luminaires where required.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This LED exit sign is UL certified for use in commercial and industrial buildings. The fixture meets code requirements for emergency egress and exit marking. The housing is constructed from flame-retardant ABS thermoplastic for occupant safety.

A two-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Routine inspection and battery testing are recommended to maintain code compliance and ensure reliable operation during emergencies.
